Vacation
A vacation is when you take two weeks off from work - and then spend the next few months
trying to put them back!
Grammatical Boss
As a boss, he is very grammatical, he always ends his dictation with a proposition.
It Pays to Advertise
A car dealer was asked if advertising is effective. "Yes, it brings quick results.
Once I ran an ad that my our watchdog was missing and offered a reward for his return and
published our address."
"Did you get your dog back?"
"No, but that very night, 3 of our cars were stolen."
Bank Cashier
"I understand the bank is looking for a cashier."
"I thought they hired one last month."
"He's the one they're looking for right now."
Retirement
I know a fellow who's retiring after fifty years with a company and it's just great. When
he started, he made $5.00 a week and all he could afford was a cold-water apartment room
and onion sandwiches. But he worked and sweated and got promotions and gave everything he
had to his job, and so now, after fifty years, in 1997, he's retiring with a $12,000
pension - and all he'll be able to afford is a cold-water apartment room and onion
sandwiches.
Paint Job
Pope Julius II hired Michaelangelo to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Julius was
a taskmaster. Michaelangelo worked day and night, on his back, hot wax and paint dropping
on his face. In winter he worked in heavy gloves, in summer the heat drove him to
exhaustion. Finally the frescoes were complete. Pope Julius came to see them. He stared
long and hard, until Michaelangelo could stand no longer. "What do you think?"
"Not bad," the pope conceded. "But for the kind of money, I expected 2
coats."
Business Sense
During dry season, there was not enough hay to keep cows fed, so Gunister and friend
decided to go into hay merchandising biz. They got a truck and drove to town where they
bought hay for $10 a bale. Then they brought it home and sold it for $6. After few weeks
in business Gunister said, "You know there must be something wrong. We're just not
making any money."
"I know, maybe we ought to get a bigger truck."
Q & A

Proposition
A businesswoman is sitting at a bar. A man approaches her. "Hi, honey," he says.
"Want a little company?"
"Why?" asks the woman. "Do you have one to sell?"
